Thanks, guys!

Elbows are on my list, Sjefke. I've been wanting to try those Japanese Ball-Joint packs that someone posted a while back and this might be the project. However, I have been temporarily distracted by Bib Fortuna.

That was me that posted the ball-joints. They work pretty good but the range of motion is limited.

Very nice paint job on Leia my friend!

Thanks, DarhtSinister! And thanks, too, for the info on the ball-joints. I'm looking forward to trying those out once I figure out what size(s) I need and get them ordered.

Thanks, Tamer!

I'm stuck in a "fixing" groove. Next up, Leia Endor (before and after)

Thanks again, Tamer!

Yes, still stuck in the fixing groove, but this one is going to take more than a little dye and some paint.

Just a small update for Bib. Resculpted the lower mouth and chin area, did the wrist and neck transplants onto the Dofine body and began work on building a cloak. I'm going to try to take a quick cast of the vintage chest piece and replicate with InstaMorph (not sure if I can pull that off).

Made a press mold of the vintage Bib armor and replicated it with InstaMorph.  Once it's trimmed and cleaned up I think I'll be able to bring out the details with paint washes.  Taking a break from sewing to paint match the Dofine parts with the right teal/turquoise.

Between you and Jrny Fan you guys are making me really want to buy some of this instamorph stuff and see what I can do with it. Nice work.

Off to share to the front page yet again.
